Unfussy, sexy hairstyles are the way to go when classes are in session. It’s all about perfecting that just-rolled-out-of-bed, second-day hair into something you can wear all day long and then transition to evening study sessions or (once you’re of age) having a pint at the local dive. But where do you get your inspiration from? Other girls on campus, recycling the same styles over and over? It’s time to put an end to all that.

We’ve got the best college-ready hair looks straight from the runway. All it takes are the tools you already have to look as casually chic as our favorite models in the biz. From Dolce & Gabbana to Marc Jacobs, Chloe and Suno, this is all the fall semester inspo you need for the perfect style every day and night.
